background: this study was to determine the prevalence of respiratory health complaints, allergy symptom, lung functions, and the association between airborne concentrations of chromium and aluminium with respiratory health and allergy symptoms among machining industry workers in selangor, malaysia. methods: the study design was a cross-sectional comparative study. the respiratory and allergy s...

Biosensors are being developed to provide rapid, quantitative, diagnostic information to clinicians in order to help guide patient treatment, without the need for centralised laboratory assays. The success of glucose monitoring is a key example of where technology innovation has met a clinical need at multiple levels – from the pathology laboratory all the way to the patient's home. However, fe...

A theory of collisionless fluids is developed in a unified picture, where nonrotating (Ω̃1 = Ω̃2 = Ω̃3 = 0) figures with anisotropic (σ11 = σ22 = σ33) random velocity component distributions and rotating (Ω̃1 6= Ω̃2 6= Ω̃3) figures with isotropic (σ11 6= σ22 6= σ33) random velocity component distributions, make adjoints configurations to the same system. R fluids are defined as ideal, self-gravitatin...

We review the connection between noncommutative gauge theory, matrix models and fluid mechanical systems. The noncommutative ChernSimons description of the quantum Hall effect and bosonization of collective fermion states are used as specific examples. To appear in the “Bourbaphy” Séminaire Poincaré X, Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris

The current paper is aimed in getting more insight on three main points concerning large-scale astrophysical systems, namely: (i) formulation of tensor virial equations from the standpoint of analytical mechanics; (ii) investigation on the role of systematic and random motions with respect to virial equilibrium configurations; (iii) extent to which systematic and random motions are equivalent i...

When thinking about fluid within the body we are essentially thinking about water. Tight regulation of the balance between water intake and output, and its distribution, is vital to the optimal function of every organ system within the body. In a wide variety of illnesses and during surgery, disturbances to this fine balance occur which must be identified and corrected to prevent deterioration,...
